Matcha "Kyou Mukashi" - Probably one of our most popular matcha green teas due to it's very high quality to price ratio. A high quality regular consistency (usucha) matcha from Uji City, near Kyoto, Japan. Whether you use this for the tea ceremony or as a source for antioxidants, know that this matcha, as with all of our products, is extremely fresh (we only order as we sell them) and is a quality throughout. We keep this product under refrigeration until shipment.

This is my first experience with matcha. It was absolutely delicious. I'm definitely going to be including matcha in my normal tea drinking diet! Can't wait to try the more expensive stuff to see how it stacks up but I can easily see myself coming back to this one. The taste to cost ratio seems to be really good.

This was my first experience with matcha so I really cannot make any comparisons. It is utterly different from any other kind of tea but every tea enthusiast should try matcha at least once (and not only enthusiasts)! As one of the other reviewers already said, it is a quite well balanced tea, neither too sweet, not too bitter. At first I was rather indifferent about matcha but later on I started enjoying it on a daily basis, matcha is a very delicate thing!
I can definitely recommend this tea to everyone.
It takes time to find the ideal way of preparation though.

I think I've drunk more of this tea than any other. Fukamushis can be too powerful for me, but this one brewed with less leaf, very short infusions, and a few tricks with the temperature produces a wonderful grassy-sweet sencha that suits my delicate palate.

Although we are shipping orders within our normal 24 hours of receiving them time frame (actually, it's usually 8 hours or less), we are finding the actual *delivery* of parcels to be exceptionally delayed at this time, especially the Northeastern United States. This includes EMS parcels, which are currently failing to even show tracking once they leave Japan.

Because of the effects of winter storms along the U.S., there may be delays in delivery of mail in the regions listed below. Furthermore, there may also be considerable delays in the arrival of mail sent from this region to Japan.

I have been buying my tea from you for years, and I have loved everything I have tried. I have a new "favorite" everytime I open a new package. I appreciate the reasonable prices too. Keep up the great work, and don't you dare go anywhere.
